THE INTEGRATED SELF CLINIC
Knowing you're safe and feeling safe are not always the same thing.
- You can understand the procedure.
- Trust your surgeon.
- Know that swelling and discomfort are expected.
Yet your mind can still react as though something is wrong.
Hypnotherapy allows us to work with the automatic responses that logic alone can’t always settle.
This is the gap my work is designed for.
Hypnotherapy allows us to work with automatic emotional and physiological responses that information and reassurance alone don’t always settle.
Hypnosis studied alongside surgical care.
SUPPORT THROUGH EACH STAGE
Support for every stage of your plastic surgery journey
Prepare before travel, feel supported around your procedure, and navigate early recovery with practical mind–body tools tailored to you.
PHASE 1
Surgical Readiness
Prepare your mind for the experience ahead.
- Anesthesia and pain anxiety
- Sleep and pre-surgery nerves
- Loss of control and worst-case thinking
- Second-guessing and recovery concerns
- Support if you’re doing this alone
We can begin online before you leave home, so you arrive already familiar with the tools and techniques we’ll use.
Once you’re in Mexico City, sessions can continue with me in person before your procedure and throughout your recovery stay.
PHASE 2
Early Recovery
Navigate the vulnerable first days and weeks.
- Discomfort, fatigue and difficulty resting
- Swelling and temporary changes
- “What have I done?” moments
- Checking, worrying and judging results too early.
Support can continue while you’re here. Depending on how you’re feeling, we can meet in person or online from your home, hotel or recovery accommodation.
PHASE 3
Adjustment & Integration
Let your internal experience catch up with the external change.
- Reconnecting with your changing body
- Self-image and expectations
- Other people’s attention and comments
- Integrating the change into your new sense of self.
You don’t have to end the work when you leave Mexico City. Sessions can continue online wherever you live as your swelling settles, your result evolves and you adjust to the change over time.
What we'll work together to achieve
The goal is to experience the whole process without letting fear control it.
Nervous but grounded
Surgery-day nerves don’t have to become panic.
Rest instead of research
Your mind can stop searching for certainty.
See swelling differently
Temporary doesn’t immediately become catastrophic.
Let recovery unfold
You don’t have to judge the outcome prematurely.
Feel more like yourself
Helping your mind-body connection feel familiar again.

Clinical Hypnotherapist & Certified HeartMath® Coach
GHR Registered · IAPCP Accredited
Your surgeon and anesthesiologist are responsible for your medical care. If psychological assessment or psychotherapy is needed, that belongs with an appropriately licensed mental-health professional.
My role is different.
I work with people who may be entirely comfortable with their decision to have surgery, yet still find themselves struggling with the automatic reactions surrounding it.
Anxiety about anesthesia, loss of control, catastrophic thinking, difficulty resting, repeatedly checking their appearance, or feeling unsettled by the changes they see during recovery.
Clinical hypnotherapy allows us to work directly with those automatic responses rather than relying on reassurance alone.
In-person in Mexico City and online worldwide.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What to know before you book
No. Hypnotherapy is a complementary mindset and relaxation service. It does not replace your surgeon, anesthesiologist, licensed mental-health provider, prescribed medication or emergency care.
Yes. Fear of anesthesia, losing control, not waking up, or feeling vulnerable during the procedure are common concerns we can work with directly.
We can use hypnotherapy and nervous-system-informed techniques to reduce the intensity of those fears and help you approach surgery feeling more grounded.
This support complements and does not replace conversations with your surgeon or anesthesiologist about any medical questions or risks related to anesthesia.
No. I work in person in Mexico City and online with clients worldwide, regardless of where their surgery takes place.
Ideally, begin 2–4 weeks before surgery so we have time to identify what is creating the most anxiety and build familiarity with the techniques before your procedure.
If your surgery is sooner, you can still reach out. Even one or two focused sessions may help you feel more prepared going into the experience.
